Susten 100 mg/1ml is a female growth hormone important for controlling the ovulation and menstrual cycle. Progesterone (the main active salt composition of Susten) affects periods in women who have not yet reached the menopausal age but have stopped getting menstrual periods due to progesterone deficiency in their bodies. It also effectively inhibits overgrowth in the uterine lining in post-menopausal women who get estrogen by undergoing HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy).
Some progesterone supplements contain peanut oil, so be careful if you are allergic to peanuts. Read the labels and ingredients in detail. Always start any new medications after consulting a doctor or a physician and let him/her know about all of your medical histories.
Some special medical testing and dosage may be required if you have these conditions or have a history. They are heart disease; circulatory problems; coronary artery disease risk factors like smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or obesity; migraines; asthma; kidney disease; seizures or epilepsy; depression; or diabetes.
Also, don’t take Progesterone without advice from your doctor if you are nursing a baby, as it can pass into breast milk and be harmful to your child. Let your doctor know at any cost about your breastfeeding.
Interaction with other Medications
There may be certain medications which may interfere with Progesterone or vice versa. Tell your doctor about your medications, including prescribed OTC vitamins and herbal products. Don’t take a new medication without the advice of your doctor.
Some medications not compatible with Progesterone are drugs that affect liver functioning to remove Progesterone from the body, such as azole antifungals, including itraconazole, rifamycins rifabutin, St. John's wort and certain anti-seizure medicines including carbamazepine/phenytoin.
Progesterone may cause some abnormality in medical tests and lead to faulty test results. Notify the lab staff and all doctors about your progesterone medication.
As far as possible, never miss a progesterone dose. But if you miss your scheduled dose due to uncontrollable circumstances, take it as soon as possible. Skip it if the time for the next dose is near. Don’t overdose on medication, as it may cause some serious conditions.
Things to avoid during progesterone medication
Progesterone may hinder your thinking and intellectual capacity and hence your ability to be alert. Therefore try to avoid any activity which requires much attention, like driving.
Some side effects of progesterone medications are pain/swelling at the injection point; headache; unusual weight gain or loss; lots of body or facial hair; loss of hair on the head; drowsiness; dizziness. If any of these remain for an extended period or their effects worsen, consult your doctor immediately. Many people using this medicine may not exhibit any side effects.
Some serious side effects of Progesterone are unusual vaginal bleeding and discharge; no menstrual periods (amenorrhea); lumps in breasts; swelling in limbs; mood swings for the worse; dark urine; yellow eyes or skin; abdominal pain; nausea or vomiting; chest pain, jaw pain or pain in left arm; blood clots; slurred speech, difficulty in seeing/vision loss; rashes on legs; trouble in breathing; sudden and severe headache; fainting. Tell your doctor immediately about these conditions.
Your doctor may prescribe the amount of Susten depending on your condition and prevailing medical history. Also, the dosage differs from patient to patient, and there is no fixed or standard dosage. Strictly stick to your prescribed amount of dosage.
For detailed instructions, read the label on the medication. Ask your doctor or the pharmacist if you have the smallest of doubts. Progesterone can be taken orally, via vaginal gel, applied on the skin via cream and injected directly into a bloodstream with a vial. Take injections from qualified healthcare personnel or yourself after learning the trick.
Special care must be taken if you are pregnant, as Progesterone can damage the fetus resulting in birth defects in your child. While taking progesterone supplements, use effective contraception and inform your doctor if you become pregnant. Some variations of this hormonal supplement may contain peanut oil, so be careful and check the labels if you are allergic to peanuts.
Progesterone intake can expose you to the risk of certain conditions like blood clots, stroke, heart attack, or breast cancer. Also, don’t use it if you already have a history of these diseases, abnormal vaginal bleeding, or liver disease.
Progesterone is sometimes prescribed for only a short period ranging from 6 to 12 days during each menstrual cycle. Strictly follow the directions and take the proper dosage without missing any single dose. This will ensure the proper treatment for which it is used. Progesterone may also hinder your senses and your ability to be alert, resulting in decreased intellectual capability. So avoid any activity which requires high attention, like driving.
Progesterone medications can cause unusual results in certain medical tests. So let the laboratory where you have your tests know beforehand if you are taking this medication.
Always keep progesterone medications in a cool, dry place, away from heat and moisture.
